They’re related though. The pressure differential is what causes the winds to rush from higher pressure areas surrounding a Low pressure center, and the coriolis effect causes the rightward deflection of that inward rushing air in the northern hemisphere. So Lows rotate counterclockwise and Highs rotate clockwise in this hemisphere. Lower pressure also usually implies the opportunity for stronger storms as air can rise easier convectively as opposed to sinking air of a high pressure area quashing thunderstorms.
A millibar is a metric measure denoting a unit of pressure per square cm if memory serves. Inches of mercury denotes the height of a column of mercury equal to a column of the atmosphere of same circumference from sea level to the it’s top at 59F/15C. 29.92” or 1013.2 MB is considered standard pressure. I’m sure a real meteorologist just cringed at all that, but it’s a quick an dirty explanation for the OP you replied to.

Seems less than ideal.

I think we’re looking at a modern day Bobby Boucher and his mama.

 

 

lsu just extended an offer.

[Reynolds Woodcock 4785]

All of my wife’s family other than her parents (both sets of grand parents, uncles/aunts, cousins, etc.) live in and around Metairie or Kenner. I checked with my father in law this morning, and it seems like every last one of them stayed for the storm. They aren’t the sharpest bunch but are generally good folks, and I hope they make it through ok.

Euro and the GFS showing another gulf storm soon.

Love the commentary

[Pancho 44866]

Friends still believe we will be in NOLA on Friday celebrating my buddy’s birthday for the Labor Day weekend. I think I’m the only one in the group who knows that a hurricane is hitting New Orleans right now.

 

[Hate 20125]

My sister and her family live in Zachary which is just north of Baton Rouge.  I offered for them to come hang out here until it passes, but they stayed.  My BIL is pretty capable and they've been through many hurricanes, but I don't think they've been through one this strong before.

Super cool. Hopefully it dies off before it gets into the gulf.

I love people that believe their survival with Camille somehow makes them immune to future hurricanes.  As if being in a horrific car accident makes less horrific car accidents no big deal.

Eye wall just hit Grand Isle and they lost the feed. Roofs and wires were flying.

Hope the feed comes back. I was hoping to see an eye wall max winds on live video. I hope no one stayed in grand isle.

Mine are East of there in Washington Parish. They should miss the worst of it.  Just had a whole house generator installed with about a week’s worth of fuel stored so they felt confident. I asked them what would they do if a tree fell on it.  Blank stares in reply.

Tried to get them to leave before the final path was better known, and they declined because they were worried about taking their cats. SMH.

Headed straight for Port Fourchon, furnishes 16% of US oil supply

And probably 95% if all supplies needed for GOM wells. There are huge supply bases that are about to get wrecked.

The video feed showed cars driving. Hopefully emergency services, but it wasn’t clear.

[UnivTex34 1763]

Weather channel interviewing the sheriff from grand isle and he just said they have 15 people in a bunker and their wind meter just was lost after 148 mph gust. Said they won’t make it another 3 hours. 

[billfromlaketravis 11520]

I mean, 6% of the population thinks they can beat up a grizzly bear. 12-16’ storm surge seems doable to some people.

The key is to immediately make a great white your bitch, so you can saddle them up and use them like  a water taxi.

If you don't have the volume up on that video, you should. It's the little webcam that could.
